bitemeoftn 1 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I can't get my server to load at all suddenly. Went from perfect for the last year or so to localhost refused connection. I've tried restarting the PC, running Emby as admin, and have even completely reinstalled to no avail. Fortunately, I have a backup media player in Plex but I like to use Emby for my IPTV. I'm not sure where to go from here. No special configuration was done when making the server and nothing has changed. It just doesn't want to work now.

bitemeoftn 1 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Doesn't seem we're going to be getting too much advice anytime soon. Curious to know how widespread this is. And if it's a fair amount of us why some sort of communication hasn't gone out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 lers give them 24 hours - seems fair! - my install is fairly basic - nothing else on it etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemeoftn 1 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Same. I literally installed the server, pointed to a couple of folders, and added in my IPTV URLs. Everything is just stock but even completely uninstalling and reinstalling isn't fixing it at this point. It's worked for the last few months and just decided to crap today.

ebr 14958 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi. Please try removing any 3rd party plugin dlls from your plugins folder and see if that corrects it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 THankyou! I renamed the current plugins to old - and deleted them all - so plugins had nothing in it - still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemeoftn 1 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 No plugins at all here. Just what came with the installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbijvank 51 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Did you check the Windows Firewall and your AV software? I've red somewhere that Emby can get flagged sometimes for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemeoftn 1 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Nothing has changed. I've literally installed Emby, pointed to folders for media, put in my IPTV URL's and started watching. Today it randomly decided that it no longer needs to work. However, Plex is just fine and chugging away normally. I hate to make the comparison but it's the best I've got at the moment.

user29 2 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 @ebr how do i submit a log - it seems emby is loading then bailing out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedPirate 2 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Same here! After 4 or 5 restarts it seems to be working now...I had to kill the emby process a few times, didn't start once at all.... PC/emby still pottering around and doing funny things in the background, but everthing seems back at normal. lh:8096 now works relatively fast again. I guess, server still did some sort of update and didn't load on slow systems or maybe DB update? Edited February 2 by NakedPirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoopy89 0 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I got the same error after update. Logs show: Corrupt: database disk image is malformed Everything was working yesterday, I suspect the issue is related to the update. I tried recovering the database but the recover misses information although the SQL error is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution bitemeoftn 1 Posted February 2 Author Solution Share Posted February 2 I figured it out everyone! All you have to do is completely nuke the entire installation that you built and re-install and set it all back up again and it's all good! I'm sure the sarcasm isn't coming through as strongly as I'd like since this is text (and I'm very fortunate since I had a pretty basic setup). Hopefully someone else finds a better solution but this works for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashpen 1 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) I suspect anyone without a membership causes an error and this kills the upgrade, closing the web socket and nulling it out. Then it keeps retrying. apiclient.js?v=4.8.0.80:1 WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:8096/embywebsocket?api_key=e####&deviceId=3#####' failed: My guess is the QA for the upgrade was only run on member active workstation. It's possible the upgrade will fail for anyone without a license. Edited February 2 by Smashpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemeoftn 1 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 An Emby Premiere license? Because I've got one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then for future reference, try to avoid tampering with the server data folders. 2024-02-03 00:21:51.180 Info App: Loading Emby.Dlna, Version=1.3.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null from C:\Users\steve\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\plugins\1Emby.Dlna.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
